    If you're not a fat ass, walk around your fighting weight, and fight 2 divisions higher than where you should like Pac, anything.

    It's easy to eat clean period.

    Eating clean or not clean only really comes down to what the individual wants more, the benefits that come with maintaining a clean diet with strategically scheduled pleasures or the freedom to indulge as and when he pleases, and that's fine.

    Eggs, grilled chicken, brown rice and veggies. Lots and lots of water. M9st of the guys I know eat the same thing everyday while training for a fight. It's important to know exactly how many calories you are taking in and burning.

    Back in the day: Steak, eggs, coffee.

    Today: Balanced diet, more or less depending on weight division or how much weight that needs to be lost. If you’re seriously dieting (on limited calories during camp) you’ve fkd up. You should be close enough to your weight when entering camp, then you should be increasing what you eat in camp (and still losing weight steadily due to the energy you’re burning). If you’re starving yourself to make weight while attempting to train hard, ya done fkd yourself

    it's easy for anyone to eat clean.
    the problem is getting rid of your cravings and addictions, which can be powerful things.
    but once you do, you only eat for nutrition, and everything always tastes great if you're very active because you're just fuelling the machine.

    How do you count how many calories you burn?

    Easy. When doing roadwork you can easily track your mileage vs pace to tell how many calories you burn. It's even easier nowadays with fitbit's and other calorie counters.

    MyFitnessPal app. Log everything you eat and you'll see what kind of nutrients you're entering into your body.

    Haha, I like this. foraging and hunting would get you in pretty good shape. Sounds like some new age snowflake way of preparing for a fight. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the way soon.
